#2518 - Tim Dillon

28:50Here's the economic policy of every country. And if the people in those countries don't like it and they express, you know, that on social media, they're going to get kicked off. and if they organize in the streets they're going to use you know the military authority to to fire water cannons at them or shut them down or use gas or whatever and if there's a genuine resistance movement to some of it they're going to infiltrate it and turn it into some psychotic thing which they do all the time right so it's hard to see it not to sound like a paranoid nut job but that's what I am and how I've made my living.

29:26But I think it is clearly someone's design. This isn't happenstance. None of this has to happen. We don't have to invade countries, sponsor coups, steal resources, and then like drench our communities in guilt and say, now we have to bring all those people here and you have to deal with it. None of that has to happen. That's That's a strategy of a group of people that want to keep perpetuating this. Do you think it also has one of the factors might be that they want conflict? The more conflict people have in the streets, the less they're going to pay attention to what the government's doing? Well, 100%.

30:09I also think the more chaos in the street, the more likely you're going to be willing to accept new laws, new laws, new technologies. And you're going to just say, I want peace. And I don't care how we get it. I don't care how we achieve it. Yeah. And I think that's very possible. But it does feel like it's on the road a little bit to where people want a uniform standard across. But as you've said earlier in this, it's very interesting because this uniform standard is supposed to include non-binary art students in Vermont and religious Muslims from North Africa. Yeah. Good luck. But I mean that's But it's amazing that the people that would be Most opposed The people that like if you do Bring those people in the people they're going to hate the most Are the people that want them in the most They're the ones who are most likely To say we shouldn't have Some border that keeps some Person from coming here and no Person's illegal and the people that want Them in the most I think are not even the People bringing them in they're being used Right.

31:19Their suicidal empathy. Their empathy is being weaponized. It's being used. That's hot. Right. So people that are manufacturing this reality are using those people. These are the same people who really don't care if people in the state over have healthcare. These are people that haven't spoken to their sister in two years. And they care a ton about people in the Ukraine or people that are coming over from Syria, whatever. But we fucked up Syria. We put that guy in who used to be an ISIS. We got rid of Gaddafi. There's slave markets in Libya. Right. So we did that. We sent refugees all through Europe.

32:00We destabilized all of Europe. And, you know, you can't take us out of it. You can't take Western powers out of it. You can't take Israel out of it. You can't take the U.S. and Britain and France and a lot of other powers that have destabilized these countries and sent these people flooding through western countries european countries yeah fun it's going to be a fun next 50 years it's kind of crazy when you see images of france there was a video of france from 1998 from paris yeah versus today they showed like 1998 and then they showed 20 different it's a different thing and you know listen some of that's inevitable the world changes different groups of people you know but then you look in in ireland this guy just got beheaded uh in the street which i'm against and i think is wrong and um he beheaded some guy a migrant who had been brought in had beheaded or damn near beheaded tried to and there's a video of it and and and now belfast like you know it's probably quieted down now but they were like tremendous riots they were like burning things down because they're like we never got to vote on this we never got to vote on on bringing the people in yeah we never got to vote on that no one ever asked us how much demographic change we wanted in our country and how quickly and what we were prepared to do no one ever asked that people don't like to admit it but an armed population it's much more difficult totally pull things off 100 percent population and that's another part of the problem with the UK and with Ireland and all these places.

33:41It's very difficult to have a gun. Diversity also relies on a very productive economy. So New York City works to the degree it does because people can go out and get jobs because the economic reality of the city is that it can support a lot of people coming in. There are a lot of jobs for those people. But when you have a stagnant economy, like many parts of the UK, that's a lot harder. It's a harder sell. Harder to assimilate people into a landscape where the people there are not doing well. Like the people that have lived there forever are not thriving. They don't feel great. Their prospects economically aren't great.

34:22And now you're bringing all these new people who also are struggling to find work. So that's part of the problem. Do you think that this is being done with a strategy knowing that AI is about to completely disrupt society? Yes. I believe this is what I believe. I believe no one, for example, no one's trying to get anyone in this country to own a house. People pay lip service to the idea. But there's a lot of people now, a lot of them are my age, who have never owned a home and never will. and no one's trying to, no one wants them. They've forgotten what owning a home feels like. They've forgotten what it feels like to have a yard where you can invite people over and drink a glass of wine and smoke a cigar and watch a game.

35:10And they live in a little apartment. They type, you know, they're on a MacBook. They're getting radicalized in any direction. They're upset. They're on dating apps or whatever, but they don't feel like they have a foundational core to their life. No one has really, really even given them the idea that they're going to get that. So I think that's just one of the things where people are, they're basically saying like, no, you don't need a house and you're not getting a house and forget what owning a house was. Like, forget that that doesn't matter. And I think part of this is because they know, same thing with healthcare.

35:51There's no real movement to give anyone healthcare in this country. and if it is, it gets shut down immediately. So on the positive side, you might go, well, they know that AI is coming and that AI is going to do a lot of stuff with health and it's going to help extend life spans. But also on the negative side, they go, AI is going to disrupt the economy to a point where like, we're not going to have people owning homes and cars and things like that. We're going to have a lot of people without a steady income or they don't really know what to do. We're going to have a lot of wealth that's existed, a lot of capital, and we're going to have tremendous inequality.

36:31We're going to have a lot of joblessness. So for sure, I think that they're preparing for that. I mean, there's no way you can look at the landscape because they're selling the country off for parts. And this is both parties and this is like, they're selling it off for parts. So, I mean, obviously, something's coming. Something's coming, for sure. And I don't know when it is. And I'm sure the AI thing's overblown to an extent. And I think so much of our GDP depends on it that a lot of these companies are... But Anthropics are creepy. These are creepy companies. You know? I mean, they're just creepy.

39:24It's loud. It's fast. It's powerful and unapologetically Dodge. Learn more at Dodge.com. Dodge is a registered trademark of FCA US LLC. Well, the amount of power that tech companies have in general is unprecedented. There's never been corporations. I mean, unless you go back to like the East India Corporation that, you know, you go back in the day where they had like an enormous army. Right. You know, totally. And they took over India and Pakistan. But if you look at what they're doing, it's very different than that. You know, other than the army part, what they have is robot armies. And then they have AI, which Elon just recently said is going to be like a million times smarter than the smartest human that's ever lived.

40:12Right. Like this is the goal. The goal is to create literally a digital God. And it's going to be controlled by not us, not the collective human race. It's going to be controlled by a select few group of people. And that's weird. And we're just trusting them. Well, that's why you're not getting a vote on immigration levels. You're not going to get a vote on. You know, like I think the reality is that eventually they're going to go, do you want safe streets? Do you want food? Do you want a little bit of money? You got to do X, Y, and Z. You got to believe X, Y, and Z. Yeah. And I mean, that seems to be coming.

40:48And it seems like if you put people in a corner and you get them scared, this is what we learned during COVID. Like they will back down. They'll go along with a lot of stupid shit. They'll go to, they'll go, they'll try to find comfort and they will listen to people that they deem to be worthy. Yeah. You know? They'll trust the government, which is wild. The left is the people that trust the government. Well, you have all these studies that come out, you know, this is the thing that I like. I love London and the people there are great and they're fun people and everything like that. But they have a, you know, because they get healthcare.

41:24They get a little more from their government than we do. There's more trust in their government than we have in our government. And there's positives to that and there's negatives. But they are a society of rules and customs and order. And it is a bit different. So I think they are more likely to go along with the grand plan of the government more so than the United States where we really do question more what's happening than people in Europe or the UK overall. Yeah, well, that makes sense, right? They have socialized health care. Isn't their education paid for completely? Isn't university? Yeah, they have good stuff.

42:04They have a good life. Yeah. There's benefits to that. Totally. There's like a balance to be achieved. I've always said that, like in this country, it's foolish that we don't have, that we don't pay for higher education. Like the more educated people, the better. Like the less losers, the better. Part of our country is, you know, where we manufacture a lot of geniuses. geniuses we also manufacture a lot of psychopaths that's what our culture does a lot of sociopaths a lot of sociopaths a lot of people that don't give a fuck about anything a lot of people that don't care about anything and it's that's the thing that comes along with the gluttony too right it's celebrated and they don't even realize that that outward gluttony it just inspires all these eat the rich people the whole thing is out of balance that's what i would describe america if you had to describe it in three words it's just out of balance it's out of balance it does And it's hard because we've got 350 million people.

42:55It's hard to, you know, and it's like, what are the people in Menlo Park have to do with the people in Baton Rouge have to do with the people in Canarsie? Like, I get it. It's a weird place. You have all these different climates, habitats, people have different interests. But I think AI might unite people because like the idea of this as such a powerful force, if people don't start getting cognizant of it eventually and start, you know, talking about regulating it or anything, you know, I do think it is going to be, you know, a very strange time if people, you know, just ignore it forever. It's going to do something weird.

43:35I'll tell you that. It's not going to be like whatever is coming over the next 20 years. No one is predicting it. I get the feeling when you see a lot of these tech guys start adopting Christianity. How about Peter Thiel's like that whole Antichrist thing? Yeah, he does that whole thing. What is he doing? He gave a fucking lecture on the Antichrist? He gave a bunch of lectures on the Antichrist. He's fascinated with it. And a lot of those guys are moving into this interesting area of this is God wants this. Like J.D. Vance, who's not the worst person, obviously, and I think he's the sanest voice in that administration about the Iran war, for sure.

44:15I think he's by far one of the only people in there going, let's calm it down, which is why a lot of the big donors are slinging mud at him, you know? But again, it's just he just released a book about faith and reconnecting with his faith. I'm sure it's a lovely book. Haven't read it. Fun beach read. J.D. Vance's Reconnecting with His Faith. Great. Inspiring. Amazing. We'll get to it. Haven't read it. We'll get to it. Top tier. but you know it's also interesting because like some of his donors are huge tech guys and it's it's it's all of these worlds existing together where you have this world of people who are trying to build a god and the world of people who already believe in a god and trying to get all of those people in the same tent that's interesting it is you know imagine if that's where God comes from.

45:12If this is a natural process for human beings and their curiosity and insatiable need for technological innovation. But then what happens once we get God? Like once we, let's say we bring this God in, then what happens? Nirvana. Nirvana? Yeah, we all merge. It becomes perfect. Interesting. So we all merge and that's perfect? It's fine. Don't worry about it. We're all going to merge with the machine. Interesting. Because people do believe that. At one point in time, cavemen had to be looking at the wheel going, man, I see where this is going to go. Right. This is going to fuck my whole gig up. My whole gig is making weapons on a stone and tying them to a stick with tendons.

45:57Right. And then chasing an animal and sparing them. And now these motherfuckers invented guns. Right. And these motherfuckers invented arrows. Yeah. With every progression of technology. Sure. Bow and arrow is technology. Yeah. It changed everything. Horse riding. Figuring out how to ride a horse. Well, that's like a new innovation. Right. Ride a horse now. Now you can move a lot faster. You can get a lot of things done. Some guy figured out a wheel. All right. Drag the wheel. Put a cart on it. Now we can carry stuff with us. Right. More than the stuff that you could put on a horse. Right. Get a couple horses.

46:24They pull a wagon. Oh, great. Hey, this guy figured out a fucking engine. We don't need horses anymore. Right. All right. Let's make the whole ground everywhere hard so we could roll around with these machines with internal combustion engines. and then it just keeps going and keeps going and keeps going and keeps going and then one day it's unrecognizable just like it is now. If you showed Australopithecus Manhattan in 2026, they'd be like – they would freak out. They'd probably start screaming. They wouldn't know what to do. They would be horrified. But do you think like if we showed Peter Thiel 2050, he'd go, no, that's it.

46:58Like that's what I want. Like whatever 20 – like do you think the guys now have a real idea of what it's going to be? No. I think there's a lot of guesswork. I don't think it's possible. I don't think it's possible to know what these things are going to do when they become sentient. I don't think it's possible. If Elon is correct, if Elon's correct, then there's something that's a million times smarter than human beings. And somehow or another, why would we let people govern? Why would we let people build that stupid fucking rail station in California that's cost how much money? And it's produced what?

47:31How much track is done? Why would they let people do that when you could have AI do that? But if something's a billion times smarter than human beings, it's going to go, we're not building a rail station for these fat fucks. You know? I mean, seriously, it's going to go, why would we build a rail station for these people so they can get drunk and go fight each other? How about we get rid of them? Well, maybe it's we don't even need to do that because we can make you travel instantaneously from here to there. We create little mini wormholes all over the country. You don't need a car anymore. You just press a button and all of a sudden you're at Starbucks.

48:03You know, we'll do something. Yeah. Very strange. I just look at technology and I go, it's made the world better in many ways, but in a lot of ways it hasn't. And it did stop around 2014, 2015. A lot of the new things started that came in, made the world to me very impersonal, corporate, sterile and cold. Yeah. And the experiences that you get now, like, you know, there was like, if you, you know, I went with a friend of mine, we were in a McDonald's and like you order on a touchscreen. There's nobody there. There's some nine-year-old kid going, hey, I ordered a McFlurry. Some woman's screaming at him.

48:36Where's the receipt? What's the receipt? He's like, nine. He's like, what? There's a weirdness when you take people out of everything. You take people out of everything, and then you don't also – they have no purpose. Right. Especially when you consider the high number of unemployed people and checked out people. And then people that have whatever their job is has nothing to do with what they enjoy. So if they just do the job and then afterwards they're just watching television all day, that's a lot of people. They're just watching their phone. Yeah, totally. There's a lot of people that don't have any purpose.

49:05Right. They don't have a feeling of purpose. They don't have a thing that they're connected to. But some experiences are much worse now than they were. Sure. Before they were digitized. Like I do think there was just pressing a button and getting something on Amazon is much easier. But there was something nice about going out in December during the Christmas season and like going to different places and seeing people. and like the struggle of like getting the thing you want. There was something, I bet you were expending energy. You're walking around, you get a cup of coffee, you see people. If we destroy all of that, what happens to the human psyche?

49:44That's my question. Well, if we had an anxiety meter, if we could see like anxiety, like levels of measurable anxiety over time, I guarantee you from like whatever the age of the internet kicked in. So it's like, what, 94 or something like that? I think it probably slowly ramped up until social media came up. And then it's probably significantly higher than it's ever been before without real threats. Totally. Like just regular anxiety from reading things on your phone and interacting with things online. Well, people are very, you know, attached to this idea that they have to weigh in on everything, that they have to have a fully formed opinion on everything.

50:29And the horrors of the world are on full display in front of them all the time. Yeah. And they need to then not only view them, which is scarring in and of itself, but then they need to contextualize them in a way that makes sense. Yeah. Which I think is also another level of stress. Am I a good person? Am I do I have the right thoughts about this thing? Am I being you know, so that to me is also another level of stress where like you would have never had to there were people when I grew up That just were really good at one thing and they they didn't need to Have an opinion on something that was happening.

51:08I had you know Right world away because they didn't have the knowledge and they weren't forced into They weren't forced into expressing that opinion. Yeah. And they were able to live in a much simpler way, in a much happier way, with real genuine connections to people. And I think the fact that nobody feels like they're able to do that now. Like the generation that's coming up, you know, the younger people, they seem better off. Like the Zoomers or whatever they are. They seem to be a little, they have a little dose of nihilism, but I think it's appropriate. They're a little, you know, they have a good sense of humor.

51:40They're skeptical. They're a little cynical. They've seen all of these institutions, you know, churn out a lot of garbage. And I think they're into, you know, some of the crypto stuff. They're into like, you know, they're self-starters. They're not institutionalists. Everyone I grew up with and the generation directly under me, they're all institutionalists. They believe very strongly that knowledge is given through an approved, whether you're at NYU or whether it's the State Department or whether it's a board or whether it's or whether it's a nonprofit that commissioned to study that proved the thing.

52:22A lot of these kids do not think for themselves. They do. And they're not kids during the 30s, by the way. And they're in their 30s or 40s. They don't think for themselves. they've been taught that thinking for themselves is bad it's racist or it's it's uh it can lead you down a road that you don't want to go on it's um you know whatever it's misogynist it's homophobic like whatever questions you're asking like why are the padres get why do the padres have to wear gay uniforms like that doesn't make any sense to me like as a gay person i never said why i need the padres to be gay why are the padres gay how does the what does the padres What does the uniform look like?

52:59They're making them wear gay things on the uniform. Like pride stuff? It's like pride stuff. I don't think it's like a dildo on their head, but I think it's like pride stuff. What happens when they play in Dearborn? It's not going to go well, but it's like, why is Citibank gay? Why is Chase gay? What is it? Why does this help anyone that a corporation is trans? Why is Chobani Yoga trans? What's the point of this? I don't understand. Does this get people health care? Does this make people happy? Does this satisfy? It makes some people happy. It makes some people happy that I worry about because I just don't understand.

53:39And it makes more people angry. That's why gay marriages lost 11 points in support. More people are annoyed. They're like, we're all cool with however people want to live their lives. A lot of most people are. But they're like, why is my bank gay?

53:56when did my bank come out as gay? And like, I'm okay with it, but could somebody have told me like, what are we doing? I don't, this doesn't make anybody's life better. It is the, it is just virtue signaling horseshit that ends up doing the exact opposite of what they want. They think it increases acceptance. It decreases it because you're shoving a worldview down someone's throat. And at the end of the day, it's like, if I went to a restaurant, for example, I have no problem with Scientology on record. By the way, I like it. I like cults. I like cults. Children have too many rights. Put them on that boat.

54:46Whatever you do, Sea Org, make them work. Don't rape them, but make them swab the deck. Whatever they do on that boat. and I don't have a problem with Scientology and I don't like the people who leave Scientology and then rat on it after it got them all these movie parts. I think that's fucked up too. I think it's fucked up. I think they're rats. And I know you've had some of them on. Sorry. But I think they're rats. If you do something for 30 goddamn years and get rich and famous, shut your mouth. Have the dignity to go to your house and shut your mouth about it. Don't then try to go on your new era is that you're going to dime on everybody in this thing that made you rich.

55:21Anyway, but if I went, so that's just an aside. It's just an aside. It's truly. But that's the way I feel. Shout out to Tom Cruise. Hangs in there. Hangs in. Can you imagine how gross that would be? In there. How disgusting would it be if Tom Cruise went out and he's like, you know, Scientology is really abused. Shut the fuck up your Top Gun. Your Top Gun, this worked. Whether you're gay or not, they covered it up. They covered it up. You said you did something wrong. They said we'll audit you. We'll put you in the box. You're fine. Give us some money. Live on this mansion. It's all fine. But if I went to my bank and it was just all Scientology for the month of June, I would go, this is a lot.

56:06Do you know what I mean? So to me, I think it's like this weird aesthetic politics that people have where they just they need to pin ribbons on themselves and go, I'm a good person. I have no problem with the polyamorous orgy happening at Chase or whatever. Just shut up. This whole country right now is being torn apart by people who need to feel like they're good people. And they need to project their life onto other people just to live in that life. People disagree with you. I have good friends I disagree with. Like on fundamental things. Foundational things. And I don't care. I don't care. because I think they're funny.

56:50I think their lives are funny. They're bad people. Many of my friends are not good people. I wouldn't even introduce them to other people I cared about. But they entertained me. And that used to be okay. Used to be able to go, I like that guy. He's entertaining. People go, he's crazy. He was in jail. You always minimize. You minimize that. You go, sure he was. Maybe. I don't know what happened between him and her. Someone fell down the stairs. He's fun sometimes. And you should be able to do that. Not everyone's going to agree with you. Not everyone's going to agree with you. It's okay. Life is too short.

57:28No, you want that. You don't want everybody to agree with you. No. You want to live in a world of texture. Yes. Yeah. You want to live in a world. You want to have the Joey Diazes of the world. Totally. You want to have some wild people out there. They're fun. And the problem with the generation under me is they're all very like this. And they all went to the same liberal arts schools that have taught them like this orderly way of processing information. And they're all afraid to like – they like say things. They say them and it very – well, well, the rape gang, they're gangs that are raping. Well, that's bad.

58:05But there's a lot of – I don't know what's been proven. And there's a lot of racism. Like they just always they're so afraid of having an independent thought because they've been programmed their entire lives. They don't realize it. They've been programmed their entire lives to believe a certain set of things. And their self-worth depends on those things mattering. Yeah. The school you went to, the internship you got, the corporation whose dick you have to suck, sometimes literally, to stay in it. That is where they derive their self-worth from. so their entire world crumbles if you challenge any of their ideas.

It acts like a cult and you have to kind of go along with every aspect of it or you'll be excommunicated. Yeah. You'll be kicked out just like you get kicked out of Scientology. You get kicked out. And if your life is – and it's sterile and it's corporate and it's boring. And that to me is – one of my biggest problems with a lot of people that I speak to is that they seem genuinely afraid to use their mind for more than what the allotted functions are.

1:00:17You mean afraid to express themselves? Yeah. They're afraid to even entertain thoughts in their own head. They want to avoid the punishment. Yeah. You know, it's a scary punishment. Have you seen this new Army Hammer movie that is out now? No, but - Some vigilante movie? He's great. Fan of him. Big fan of him. Think he's great. Love everything he's doing. And I like it. I like that you can't get canceled. People come right back. Well, I don't know if he's necessarily coming back. I mean, this movie is going to bring him back, I should say. I mean, what did he say? I mean, he said he wanted to eat girls.

1:00:54He was texting them. He wanted to eat a couple of people. You know, is that a problem? But is it real? Is it just crazy talk? Even if it was. Even if it was. Is it consensual or not? I mean, is it just saying wild things? Like, what is it? Listen. What is it? His fantasy was that he wanted to be accountable. That was his, like, fantasy. That was his kink. Now, it was fake, but if he was in a situation where it could have been real, yeah, he would have tried a heart.

1:01:29If Armie Hammer had the money to arrange this, and some people in our country do, if he had the money to arrange it, he's trying a heart. A thousand percent. And by the way, does it make me hate him? Does it make me hate him? As long as the person was dead already. I'm against it. I would never do it. But if you told me this is how open I am to different people. If you told me army hammer There was a somebody died and there was a heart and army hammer tried a little bit of the heart. I'd go hey Fine live and let live. Do you know the story of general buck naked? No General butt naked is a guy in Liberia.

1:02:09So Liberia is a part of Africa. I don't want to fuck this up So let's be let's check on this. I think what happened in Liberia is they released a bunch of slaves from the United States and sent them to Liberia like after slavery was abolished. Right. And I think Liberia has had a series of civil wars like really crazy brutal ones. And in one of them there's this guy named General Butt Naked and Vice covered this guy. They interviewed him and essentially now he's a priest. He's a preacher and he gave his love to Jesus Christ and now he's saved. But back then, he would talk about how he would go into war completely naked and then they would kidnap children of the opposing army and cut their heart out and eat it for protection.

1:03:02That's certainly an extreme way to do it. He did that. Yeah. But then he found Jesus. So it's okay. Well, it is certainly better and that's Would the Mayans kind of do that or was that human sacrifice? They did a lot of human sacrifice Along with the Aztecs. What happened with Liberia? Is that an accurate depiction? I don't want to fuck this up So Liberia was established in 1822 by the American Colonization Society as a refuge for formerly enslaved and freeborn black Africans to relocate to Africa. Yeah, there it is. Over several decades, roughly 16 ,000 freed slaves known as Americo-Liberians migrated there.

1:03:45While envisioned as a sanctuary, the nation later faced its own internal scandals regarding forced labor and human exploitation. Yeah, interesting. Uh-huh. Um see if you can find that general butt naked guy though this this guy this whole story is fucking crazy Is this it? Okay, geez. Yeah formed his own militia of several dozen fighting Several dozen fighters known as the naked base commandos or butt naked brigade Most of whom were children as young as nine operating under the Monrovia area with his unit uh how do you say his name blah he blah blah he i'm not sure how to say his name became known as wearing only shoes and magic charms and eventually adopted the nom de gure general butt naked his fighters followed his patterns of dress which in line with his distorted emulation of animist tradition believed he could believe could make one immune to bullets to fund his wartime activities and secure a steady supply of drugs for his fighters.

1:04:52Balahi allegedly traded locally mined diamonds and gold to Mexican drug cartels in exchange for guns and cocaine. Let's fucking go. He conscripted many of his fighters and according to some accounts, laced the food. He fed them with cocaine along with showing them Jean-Claude Van Damme films and to explaining to them that killing people was a game in an effort to uproot the fear of death. His fighters, he and his fighters perpetrated numerous atrocities, although the exact extent of the crimes they committed have been subject to dispute. Frequently discussed the alleged atrocities he perpetrated, which according to Balahi, including murders, cannibalism, and human sacrifice.

1:05:35He has repeatedly estimated that the naked base commandos were ultimately responsible for 20 ,000 deaths, a claim which has come under criticism. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And he's alive now and he's religious. He's a preacher now. Yeah. Have him on. And I bet he's a lovely person. That's the thing. He should have him on. By the way, I would - There he is. He has an open invitation. He's an open invitation. Look, he's got Jesus on his shirt. He's led a full life. And there's something about someone who has led a full life. This man has led a full life. There he is. He looks like Beetlejuice from Hell in a Stone.

1:06:10Naked. Wow. Crazy. Imagine seeing a dude naked with his dong flopping, running at you with an AK-47 with kids' blood all over his face. I mean, that's disturbing, but I imagine that there are very rich people in our country seeing that and paying good money to see it. One of the things that we were talking about before the show started, we were out in the hallway, we were talking about how there's a giant chunk of the world that's fucked. Yeah. And what's coming into England, it's not unusual for other parts of the world. If you go to Karachi, that's what life is chaos. Yeah. Chaos is making its way into these protected bubbles, and that's what's freaking people out.

1:06:57We live in a very privileged, even the poorest and the worst, which is obviously, you know, it's not to minimize their struggles. But if you go to any of those third world countries, you're very aware of how privileged you are to live in a Western country. And, you know, it also makes a lot of sense why the people in those third world countries would want to leave them and go to other places for opportunity. And I think immigration's had a lot of positive impacts on America, and it's had a lot of positive impacts on Britain and other countries. And it's not the idea that immigration is all bad or all good.

1:07:37It's the idea that, like, you have to do things a certain way because, you know, societies are fragile. This is what we're learning. We're learning that societies are more fragile. When I grew up, that wasn't a common thought, that our society was very fragile. We thought it was very strong. We actually thought nothing could break us. And then you look at a couple of years of a pandemic and most of the downtowns of the American cities don't look the same. Commerce has changed in a dramatic way. The Iran war proved that, you know, militarily our military is obviously brave men and women. They're amazing.

1:08:13But like the changing nature of warfare has made military campaigns very difficult. It's hard to look at this Iran war as a victory. It's almost impossible unless you're completely dishonest. I don't think anyone is looking at it as a victory. So I think our vulnerability to threats foreign and domestic, we are more aware of that now than we have ever been how fragile societies are. So when you demographically change a society very quickly, which has never happened historically, it took wars, long periods of immigration. Now it's overnight. People have to adjust to a new cultural and sometimes economic reality.

1:08:53that's a very disruptive thing and societies are very fragile and you've got to be very careful about how you alter and change a society because if you do it too quickly there's a tremendous backlash and you have to make sure that people want it changed that people are on board with it not everyone no one's on board with everything but like if you went to a lot of people in these countries that live in the bigger cities, they would probably be very pro-immigration. And because immigration has a lot of clear benefits to them. They get food delivered all the time. They have access to a wide variety of goods and services that immigrants bring.

1:09:38A lot of them are awesome. A lot of great food, you know. So obviously, but again, if you went out into the suburbs and you went out into areas where the economies have stagnated areas where maybe you've had scandals like this grooming scandal and things like that um sweden whose crime rate has skyrocketed because you've brought in a lot of people from other places that are selling drugs and not all of them obviously but like if you look at that and those people have a much more negative view of it because they don't connect the benefits of it because they don't they don't feel them in their life right they were living pretty sweet they were living good they were living pretty sweet they're riding their fucking bicycles and eating herring and safe out there pretty safe and doing what they wanted to do and then you know you have this influx of people you now have real poverty you now have a lot of people brought in people that came from a war-torn part of the war-torn country yeah and not everyone's going to be general but naked who becomes a christian pastor and is probably lovely now You probably see him in H-E-B.

1:10:44You're like, sweetheart. Ate a few people, children maybe, but now it's better. That guy, not everyone's going to convert. Not everyone's going to be, you know, you're going to bring people in that are, people are products to an extent of their environment. Like we all are. So the idea that like, you know, women have less rights in these countries. So the courtship rituals in these countries are different. The familial relations are different. That's just the way it is. So, and a lot of people there like that. So, you know, why would those beliefs and systems of change just because you happen to be living in Ireland?

1:11:33Right. why would you think irish women or british women would necessarily or inherently get more respect than your wives daughters sisters whatever and i'm not saying that it's all like throughout the entire islamic world i think there's a lot of diversity in the muslim world and there are lots of countries where there's arguments that women are safer than they are in america but there's a lot of countries where that's not the case and women have far fewer rights and and it's pretty barbaric and i don't know why those attitudes would change when they are just in a different physical location the spectacular bizarreness of it is that the really kind left-wing people who oppose toxic masculinity right oppose this sort of uh society that's that we're talking about this this male dominated society like you're inviting in something that literally has that as its doctrine well they think it can be tamed so here's the thing with those people they love a challenge this is the I can fix him version of it and to an extent cultural attitudes do change over time people do assimilate to certain practices that's not a completely ridiculous thing to think but they really believe that once all these people come to these countries and see how great it is to be a childless 40-year-old woman working in data entry at a large faceless corporation that's gay on Pride Month.

1:13:03The corporation goes gay. And when they see how happy she or he or they is living in a society where you don't own anything. You know what's interesting about family? I just spoke to a comedian who went on a world tour and he was in India. And he was talking about how poor people in India don't live on the street. They live in slums, which it's better. It's better to live in slums than the street because a lot of poor people are with their families and they won't cast their family out. Family in America almost means like nothing. Like we've we've kind of we've everything's such an individual pursuit that family means nothing.

1:13:47And like that's reinforced. Like I am in an argument with my father. His wife has different political views on certain things. So we haven't spoken in a little bit. My cousin's getting married. And I told, I have a therapist now that I've had for six months who, I don't know if it's good. I don't know if you ever know if a therapist is good or not. And I told my therapist, you know, my dad and his wife are going to be there and I haven't spoken to them, but I love my cousin and I want to support her marriage. I want to go. And my therapist goes, well, you don't have to go. So my therapist goes, if you feel like it's going to make you happy, go.

1:14:27So therapy in our country is has become a way to kind of enable like sick people to just become selfish psychopaths. And family in America means almost nothing. and it is reinforced how little family means because like doctors will tell you, yeah, fuck it, it's your father, who cares? So it's basically a thing where like, I think when you go to these other countries and you realize how deeply rooted a lot of things are in family and culture and tradition. And then we come from a country where like, almost very little is. I'm not saying people don't have great families here, but like, you know, America is about you.

1:15:09And it's not about if you don't agree with your sister, fuck her. If your mother disagrees with you, block her. That's our country. And in other countries, that's unheard of. Like, that's unheard of. Like, it doesn't happen. And, you know, the comedian was explaining to me, like, in India, there's like a lot less of a drug problem in certain areas. And he was wondered why. And he goes, well, people don't want to do drugs to, like, disgrace their family. Even poor people. Even poor people would be like, I don't want to be a drug addict. because my family's going to think bad about that. Wow. Whereas here, there's people that'll shoot up in front of their parents.

1:15:47You know what I mean? So it's just a different... Culturally, we've gotten to this point where people are having less children. Family means very little. So then what has replaced that? It's clearly the state and corporations. And ideology. And ideology. So they've replaced families and communities. Well, the ideology is your community because you're online most of the time. Yes. A giant percentage of the interactions you have with people on social media. This episode is brought to you by LifeLock. Identity theft costs more than you think.

Interesting. I thought it was something that... No, it's a CBD vein.

1:17:51I thought it was somebody gave you something that's like you're about to transcend or something. Oh, no. I thought you were like, it's DMT. Imagine? I'm bored with you. I'm going somewhere else for a few minutes. When's the last time you've done DMT? It's been a while. Interesting. Should I do it? Have you ever thought about it? Should we all do it? Yeah. I'm going to have a cigarette. Are you thinking about it? I'm thinking about maybe doing it. A lot of people have asked me about it recently. That pure molecule thing years ago was an awesome documentary. You know this Andrew Gallimore guy? Do you know what he's doing?

1:18:22So he's, what is his exact discipline? Is he a psychologist? He's doing these things in a country where it's legal, where you fly there and you do a five-hour DMT experience, like intravenous. He's a chemical pharmacologist, neurobiologist, and a writer. One of the most world's leading experts on psychedelics. Very interesting guy. And he's creating this place. I forget what it's called. Do you remember the name of the place? No. A lot of people I know do ayahuasca. That's an orally active version of DMT. This thing seems a little crazier because they can kind of regulate the dose much better.

1:19:06And they can keep you there for a long period of time. elusius okay so like like the eleusinian mysteries from the uh from ancient greece so this place it's in bakuia am i saying that right in the caribbean in march of 2026 and the aim is to study dmtx and dmt entities and attempt to communicate with these entities so one of the things that he's saying so he was just on someone's podcast maybe Danny Jones he was been on this podcast as well but one of the things that he was saying was that they keep going to the same place that you can act like it's they're actually trying to create a map of whatever this experience is so instead of doing it like an ayahuasca ceremony or doing it like you're smoking DMT and I'm you know some sort of a psychedelic ceremony with your friends and it's a 15-minute experience Instead of that, they're having repeated experiences in the same environments.

1:20:07There's actually a place that you can go. And by regulating the dose somehow or another over a prolonged period of time, it allows you to maintain this state and keep entering deeper and deeper into whatever the fuck this is. But it seems to be mappable. Okay, it was the basement. That's what it was. So it is AJ from The Y Files, which is an awesome YouTube show if you've never seen it before. And so he's talking about it doesn't take you to somewhere new. It unlocked what's always there. These guys are trying to develop like maps of what this is. So they keep experiencing. They're charting out different entities that you experience.

1:20:46And there's a bunch of different ones that you experience. And one of them I've seen multiple times is jesters. And these bizarre looking psychedelic jesters. Interesting. I wonder if they were the original jesters. I wonder if, like, the reason why jesters dress the way they do with these dangling things off their heads, because this is what you experience in the psychedelic state, and they're trying to recreate it. But what they have done when I've done it is mock me and make me realize that I'm taking myself seriously. Like, one time there was, like, fractal. There's millions of them. And they were all giving me the finger like this.

1:21:23Wow. And I was like, uh, and I said, I go, oh, I take myself too seriously. They go, yes. And they were going like that. Interesting. That's it. It was like there's little corrections of your psyche that take place during these experiences. Interesting. It's very weird. I'm scared to do it. Well, I'm scared I'll go in and it'll be fractals of J.D. Vance yelling at me. It's all George Soros. Yeah, it's all J.D. Vance going, you need to learn about AI. No, I don't know. I find it fascinating. Well, it is. It's definitely fascinating. Chase Hughes is just in the podcast, and he did it somewhere in the United States where they did some five-hour DMT experience.

1:22:02And he was, you know, it's like changes you. Whatever you are now is a totally different version of who you were before you had that experience. Which is like life overall over, you know, day after day, month after month, week after week, year after year. You become a different thing. You're a different person than you used to be. Sure. But sometimes an experience like a psychedelic experience can make it abrupt. and then you instantaneously become a different person. It's so fascinating because we are having all these conversations about aliens and entities and demons and whatever. I think it's connected.

1:22:37I think what these psychedelic things allow you to do is experiencing things. You're experiencing things that are already there, that have been there all the time. You just lack the ability to see them. You're tuning into it pharmacologically. Like they're changing the chemistry of your brain. And it's not an alien chemical. That's the nutty part about it. DMT is produced by the human body. It's produced in the brain. It's produced in the liver, I think in the lungs. The release is when you die? I don't think. Or maybe. It's very poorly understood. I mean, there's been some work done on it. One of the big ones was Rick Strassman.

1:23:15He wrote a book called DMT, the spirit molecule. And he did this. It was really kind of brilliant. he had an FDA study that he got. This is all like government approved study on psychedelics under the guys. He wants to find out how bad they are for you. Interesting. So he told them, we want to study the dangers of these drugs. And that's where he got all the money. Yeah. And so then he writes his book like this. It's amazing. Smart. And by doing that and then studying, they studied the Cottonwood Research Foundation. They're studying where DMT is coming from. So like the thought was that it's coming from the pineal gland.

1:23:48So the pineal gland is like literally a third eye in the middle of your head. But now they think it's coming from the whole brain. They don't really – the human body produces it. That's the most important part. So the human body produces this – the most potent of all psychedelic chemicals that transports you into another world. Like how weird is it that the body produces a gateway to some other place? Now whether it's perceived or a hallucination, the experience is the same. So you can get hung up all the time on, oh, you're just seeing things that aren't there. These are visions. OK, maybe. Maybe what you're doing is experiencing something that's real.

1:24:29Like it might not be something that you could put on a scale. It might not be something that you can measure with a ruler. But it doesn't mean it's not real. And I think we are very arrogant in our assumptions that we have an understanding of all that exists with all that we know about bacteria. molecules and cells and the mitochondria and then subatomic particles. Just the reality that we've observed is so fucking bizarre. The idea that we know what's real and what's not real and you can say, oh, it's just a hallucination. The reality is you go to Tim Hortons, you get yourself a donut and you go to work.

1:25:08Right. No. I think I have a feeling that what that experience is, is you being able to see something that exists around you. Well, a lot of people are very hopeful. I wasn't one of them, per se. But this idea that we're on the edge of some disclosure, that the government was going to start telling us things about extraterrestrials. And remember that? Well, the creepiest one that kept going around was that they had brought together a bunch of pastors to talk to them about disclosure because disclosure is going to disrupt the fabric of society so greatly. Right. And the question was, what were they going to tell them?

1:25:49And so what I have been hearing from people that supposedly know things about UFOs was that they were told that religion was created by aliens to keep people in line and that humans are the product of accelerated evolution. And they needed some sort of an origin story that made sense with rules and morals and ethics and guidelines to follow and something to worship because without that, people are lost. And so that these aliens have created that. Well, please let Trump say that in a press conference. He's the president to say that. Yeah, I got to talk to him. I'll have dinner with him. He's the president to get on there and go, guys, listen, just, we don't know what's going on.

1:26:24The straights are removed. They're open. They're closed. They're open. They're closed. Who gives a fuck anymore? Anyway, there is no God. You were all created by aliens and you were told a bunch of lies about it. Good luck. Keep going to work. Markets up. Straight's open. Markets up. It's not even that there is no God. It's that the God story that you've been told, it's formulated in a way for your tribal primate brain to accept and understand. Right. And that there's probably a true story to all of it. If you go back far enough and if you got the actual events that they were trying to lay out, there's too much of stuff that's in the Bible that is historically verifiable.

1:27:06Totally. But do you think they didn't tell people that because they thought it would be too disruptive? Well, here's the thing. There's a lot of stuff that, you know, when you talk about the Bible, right, you're talking about a series of stories. Sure. Especially when you get to the Old Testament. It's a series of stories. And some of these stories aren't in the Bible that were a part of the religious canon of the day. And one of them is the Book of Enoch. So Anna Paulina Luna told me about it. She's like, you really have to read that. And I was like, okay. Like she was so adamant about it. I'm like, okay, let me read it.

1:27:40So I listened to it on tape in the sauna, which is the perfect way to do it. I'm listening to an audio book. It's 195 degrees. I'm sweating my balls off. I'm dying in there. And I'm listening to this fucking crazy account that is in the same Dead Sea Scrolls as they found the book of Isaiah. Totally. The same collection of these religious texts. And it's all about how the watchers came down and mated with the daughters of man and chose them as wives and then created this race of beings called the Nephilim, which were giants that ruled the earth. Like this is in the Bible. It's they talk about the Nephilim in the Bible.

1:28:16In the Bible. They talk about Enoch. Like he's referenced in the Bible. Right. But the book of Enoch, the stories that are in the book of Enoch are fucking bananas, like completely bananas. And the only reason why it's not in the Bible, a bunch of rabbis decided that it didn't align with the Torah. The Torah, the Talmud, I forget which one. But they decided like this contradicts some of the stories that are in other religious texts. So we're going to keep that one out. Interesting. It was a collection of these things that's all together. Who were these rabbis? Exactly. Right. I mean, who are all these people that wrote these things down?

1:28:53You know, I have this bit where I read out of the book of Ezekiel and there's like the hilarious parts of the book of Ezekiel. And then there's also parts that sound like they're talking about a UFO, like these profound experiences. And then other things we're talking about a prostitute. It's very funny. Right. But this whole thing is a bunch of people's interpretations of stories written down, passed down generation to generation, written largely intact once it was an original piece. So like they found the book of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls and it's identical to the book of Isaiah that is a thousand years newer.

1:29:28So that was older than the book of Isaiah that they had by a thousand years, the oldest one they ever found. And it was verbatim. Right. So once they got these stories down, they wrote them over and over and over again. And like priests would learn to do that and monks would learn to do that with their religious texts. They would rewrite things over and over again as part of the practice. And someone knows, in some subterranean part of the government, they know something or many things that they're not going to tell people because it would be disturbing or disruptive. This was the story about Jimmy Carter.

1:30:01Right. The story about Jimmy Carter was Jimmy Carter, I believe in 1969, he had some sort of a very strange UFO experience that was very real to him. Very bizarre. Saw something. Yeah. And part of his thing was once he gets into office, he wants to tell people. The story is that he was briefed. They explained to him something about the reality of the UFO experience, like what it really is. And he was crying that he wept openly. So what could that mean? Like, what would that mean? Well, he was kind of a, yeah, interesting. Kind of a pussy, is that what you're going to say? He was a bitch. And this habitat for humanity I never understood.

1:30:40I thought it was, you know. I think he's a genuinely good person. Of course he was. He built houses for people. Yeah, he was. Never enriched himself. But he was also, if you read books about him, he was kind of an operator too. Uh-huh. He was into the peanut stuff, right? He was a peanut farmer or something. Yeah. You know, he was, nobody gets to be the, yeah, he was sweeter. Sweetest. Sweetest. One of the sweetest of all the presidents. He was still the president. But so, who is doing this explaining? It's just the men and black people from the depths of Raven Rock or Cheyenne military or wherever the hell they are.

1:31:15What they could be doing is covering up years of lying to Congress and misappropriation of funds for all these black ops programs and the way they can get out of jail. Because if they go and tell the government, oh, yeah, by the way, we lied to Congress for 50 years. There's no solid verifiable evidence that Jimmy Carter cried. Of course there's no solid evidence. Jamie, stop being a narc. He's a narc. He's a gnar. Because the UFO sightings of UFO reads. The Carter Cried Over UFO story is based on second or third hand anecdotes. Those are my favorite. And is not confirmed by Carter himself or primary official sources.

1:31:50I think it's true. I think it's true, too. About his 1969 sighting, Carter described seeing a strange light, but did not mention crying or being emotionally shattered by it. But I don't think that's what they're saying. They're saying he was emotionally shattered by the disclosure. Cried after UFO briefing. You've got to live with that knowledge. So he's just got to go around now. Richard Dolan, who is by far one of the best guys to read about UFOs and UAPs. Very balanced guy and very evidence-based guy. He includes a lot of crazy stories, but he never goes along with them. But Richard Dolan's really good.

1:32:25He's got a bunch of books. So I don't know if it's true. Is the Jake Barber guy real? He's the guy that said that he actually had to move a UFO, right, with a helicopter? Yes. I haven't talked to him. I was just watching it, but it's too long. These UFO guys, it's all three or four out. Like, it's not. Well, Jesse Michaels does a lot of very in-depth ones with these guys. Yeah. But the good thing about that is if someone's, like, really full of shit, after a couple of hours, you kind of say, you see tendencies that maybe they exaggerate or they make things up or they leave stuff out or whatever it is.

1:33:36The Testaments, a new Hulu original series from the executive producers of The Handmaid's Tale. It's easier to accept a story than believe that the people around you are monsters. The battle isn't over. There comes a time when you have to take action, when you have to choose your own destiny. Never quite as it seems. Watch the new Hulu original series, The Testaments, streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers. Terms apply. Something's going on, right? There's something that people keep seeing. There's enough radar information. There's enough video that doesn't make any sense.

1:34:10We never found out what those drones were. Remember that? They were all around the bases in New Jersey and stuff like that. Yeah, it was crazy. I mean, people were scared to fly. People say it's a domestic. It was domestic. It was us. That's what I've heard. But then, you know, who knows? Could be China. Could be China flexing and pulling their dick out. Right. Check out what we have, motherfuckers. Who knows? Who knows? But there was a lot of things that those things were doing that we don't know that they can do. One of the things, like, they were flying for hours at a time. And so what's the fuel source?

1:34:37Because it's not batteries. Downed U.S. pilot reported seeing Iranian drones swarm in jellyfish formation. Whoa. Well, they're probably getting drones from, you know, who knows, China. China, Russia. Of course. So the highest end of high end government drones that we don't know about, who knows what those fucking things can do? multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs one of the sources familiar with the pilot's witness account told cnn real alien shit another source told cnn the pilot described witnessing a minefield of drones in the air holy shit when did this happen 13 hours ago this was posted so 13 hours ago this f1 f15 got down when i mean he's talking and they're reporting it so i don't know the actual bro how nuts is that they got taken out by alien drones in april whoa so he ejected from the aircraft the iranian drones hovering in the air moving as one in a formation that resembled a jellyfish fuck dude yeah i mean so there is a there is a chance that it is our it's darpa and it's all of these countries that are you know You have these black projects.

1:35:53They have these secret defense projects. And they're saying it's extraterrestrial. I think if I was running an undercover operation for as many years as these people probably have been doing. And with Eric Weinstein thinks, he thinks it's like a separate branch of physics. He thinks there's a bunch of physicists. So where did they get? This is the story. We went and did the crazy invasion to get these guys back. Oh, this is those guys? This is the two dumb pilots, yeah. Oh, this is how they got taken out. Oh, wow. This opens up a lot more questions. Wow. Wow. Right? Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They used the heartbeat thing.

1:36:33That was the whole, right? That's what they said. What was it? So the heartbeat thing was the thing that they said that they were able to locate this guy's heartbeat, his very unique heartbeat in the mountains where he was hiding. Wow. And everybody was like, well, that's bullshit. I don't know. I don't know. And it's based on some sort of quantum something or another. What is it called again? And then the fucking White House said, did you see that today? What did they say? They posted something on their – they're going to announce them about quantum computing. Oh, Christ. Do you think that – God's about to get boring.

1:37:03They were making a joke about Q with it. That's sort of why I asked if you guys had seen that. What's the joke about Q? I'll find the post. Okay.

1:37:16I think they have drones that move like UFOs. I think for sure. Where are they getting this technology? I don't know. Do you think it's possible extraterrestrials are giving us technology? It is possible. So the recent White House will be Q posting today. They're just trolling and having fun. And you scroll all the way down and it says, and by Q we mean quantum. Stay tuned. Look how much they're trolling. QAnon people are the most committed people I've ever encountered. Yeah, they're fun. I've never encountered people who are so committed to anything. The UFO people are close. Sure. I mean, the cute people are 10 years in going, trust the plan.

1:37:57It's coming. And you go, guys, it's unbelievable how dedicated they are to the plan. And that it's still morphing and going in different directions. And the data centers are actually prisons for people who did the vaccine. They're not data centers. Because they're still going. And that level of commitment is what America's about. It's about that. It's about not giving up. Don't give up. Don't give up. You're too deep in to give up. My advice to anyone in that movement, stay in it. Because there's nothing good on the outside. Reality is not good. Stay in that movement. Take it as far as you can.

1:38:42What would the government possibly have to announce about quantum computing? No idea. What was the quantum heartbeat thing? What was that thing called? How do they locate that that gentleman? Remember them never coming out and saying because people were speculating that like how could you even do it? I think right on the podcast next day was like that's not how quantum stuff works, right? But I don't know if they know that for sure sure so they don't really know what the technology is But what was the technology that the government described because they described it as very bizarre And there was a name for it that involved something quantum.

1:39:16And they said that somehow or another they were able to detect this guy's heartbeat. Right. Unique heartbeat from I think was like, was it 70 or 700 miles away? April 7th, this was posted on the New York Post. Secret never before used CIA tool that helps find airmen downed in Iran. If your heart is beating, we will find you. Wow. So this is it. Long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic signal of a human heartbeat that pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise. And so what is the range on this stuff? Because they were saying— It was 40 miles I think they found this guy is what the claim was.

1:39:58But didn't they say the range is up to like 70 miles, something along those lines? So I don't know if— How long have they had this? Right. Is it even real? Yeah. But this is the thing. It's like, is it real? Like, so this is a post that's in the New York Post. And I think it was from, did someone release this as a statement? Like, what did they do to say they did it? The confirmation. Okay. So. Blackcliffe, Saturday morning. Yeah, their CIA director talking about. Yeah, there you go. CIA, it's missing America from 40 miles away. That was unclear. Okay. That's Trump saying that. Not, so these are two different or three different speeches all going in together.

1:40:37I guess maybe they spoke at the same press conference. So here's the other thing. If that technology doesn't exist, right, and they just made that up to cover for technology that does exist. So maybe there's technology that does exist. That's some sort of large-scale satellite imagery of the Earth that gets down to like a grain of sand. And they can find anybody anywhere. They can just find out where the plane is, scan the area, bam, there he is. There he is. Okay, we don't want to say we have this. What are we going to say? Let's say we have quantum heart rate magnetometry. Yeah, we can find ghosts.

1:41:14We couldn't find Ghislaine Maxwell in New Hampshire. When that came out, people were asking, yeah, why couldn't you use it to find anybody? She was in New Hampshire. Yeah, where is, you know, whatever. Well, it could be that that technology just recently got invented. That's right. That's also possible. Well, there's still missing people. Guthrie's missing still, right? We shouldn't have missing people then if that technology exists. That's a weird thing. And my heart goes out to her. But that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, that's a weird one. And didn't they like they looked at family members as suspects?

1:41:44I think they looked at family members. Is she back? And I think she's back to work in the story. And isn't she back to work? I don't know. What did you say? There's a break in the story? No, I think the story got updated recently. Yeah, there's something about a note. Ransom note claim Nancy Guthrie died after abduction. Well, that's a. Well, you're not going to get ransom then. second ransom note claim she died well that's a that's a horrible ransom note so someone posted a note saying that she died i want money it's a ransom note that says she died what about what if it's she died just give us reading headlines what if it's she we're sorry she died just give us what you want it's not a it's not a specific amount of money it's just give what you feel is it's like church give what you can we're sorry she passed away give what you can we're not going to say a specific amount of money so the note sent days after the disappearance oh so this is not new oh indicated she had died but contained no request for payment for the release of her body three people familiar with the matter said though the existence of the note was known the specific contents had not been previously disclosed so it's just the contents were disclosed that they knew that she was dead it seems like it's an inside thing it seems like if someone's involved that knew them.

1:42:59I mean, I hate to think that, but it does feel like it's... Was there a request for money? What was the first request? Originally, yeah, I think it was a bunch of Bitcoin or something they wanted. Let's find out what it was. It's a horrible thing, obviously. I'd like to know. But it does seem like this is an inside job. Well, someone certainly... Okay, the ransom. Feels like the family's involved. Maybe not. I don't know.

1:43:28So this is all bringing up stuff about... Ask AI. Press AI mode. You can't do it? Okay, put it in there. Put it in perplexity.

1:43:41How much do you think they asked for? I bet$10 million. $10 million? For mom? Five? Five? Let's see. Ten's a lot. Multi-million dollar payments in cryptocurrency, mostly Bitcoin, with amounts ranging from about$4 to$6 million and set deadlines, sometimes with escalating or else consequences. Terrible. Ugh. This is insane. But think about it. Is that random? I guess it could be. It could be. But there was some concern that it was a family member. There was concern that it was something that a family member did this. Yeah. Who knows? It's sick. Yeah. The Bitcoin thing's weird too. Like you could transfer money in Bitcoin.

1:44:27There was a group of people that wanted me to advertise on my podcast. And it was a, like a meme coin thing. And that was like a platform, whatever. And then I was like, but their like identities were shrouded. And people knew who they were, but they were also very secretive because they didn't want to get kidnapped. And they split their time between Dubai and London. And CAA, you know, came to me and they were like, hey, they want to give you a bunch of money. And I go, what are they? And CAA's like, well, you know, it's crypto. you know they don't you know i mean demons from hell no offense love my people but they were i was like i gotta meet them i gotta meet them and sit down and talk to them as human beings and like ask them what their company does everything like that and then immediately once i requested that they said okay they'll all meet you in dubai and talk to you about the company i said i can't i need to know like i know like you know whatever they pulled the offer and wouldn't meet interesting Yeah.

1:45:18Yeah. So there's all these shit. Because by the way, here's a great way to fuck someone is to advertise on their show and then go, by the way, the money came from Russia. Yeah. And you didn't even know that. Well, didn't that happen to a bunch of right wing influencers? I'm sure it happened. Weren't they a part of some thing? It's hard to know who knew what. Right. But like it's great. What a great way to just make people appear compromised. So when somebody – when you go, where's this money coming from? Maybe it's an intelligence agency. Maybe it's ours. Maybe it's someone else. But you start going like, all right, I need to sit down with you, have dinner with you.

1:45:50It doesn't mean that I would necessarily be able to know if these guys were legit or not. But the fact that they wouldn't even meet for a dinner tells me that something was up. Also, a friend of mine who's working at a company that's producing long-form shows for YouTube creators told me that a lot of the money is coming from Democrat super PACs because they want a captive audience to be programmed politically. And not only Democrat super PACs, but like super PACs that are associated with certain issues and things like that. So what they're going to start doing is like getting behind content and, you know, funding longer form things on social media platforms and things like YouTube or whatever.

1:46:39And then those companies that are kind of in the background of this will then say, oh, we have an audience of five or 10 million people watching this. We can put political ads on it and whatever else. So, I mean, this is kind of, I think, the future is going to be many things like this. And when you can do it through something like crypto, like if you can hide your identity, like who knows if it's even a real company? It could be a company designed entirely just for influence. It's very questionable. You have the intelligence world. You have the crypto world. And you have the world of international crime syndicates.

1:47:21They all live in that world. And I'm not saying people that are into crypto are inherently suspect in any way. Obviously, they're not. But there is a lot of fuckery going on with the intelligence stuff and the crypto. It's obvious. Clearly. Clearly. Whenever there's money, the amount of money that you can make in crypto is fucking bananas. And it doesn't make any sense, right? So whenever there's money in drugs, right? Like this is Iran Contra. Yeah. There's money in anything. They find a way to get a part of that money. I think what concerns people partially about this administration is some of the crypto stuff.

1:47:59I think people are concerned with some of the coins and some of the crypto. Well, Melania coin's legit. That one I love. But the rest, I worry. No, but I think it's a fair concern. It is, because it's legal. It's legal, but it's like, should it be? Is it? Should it be? Should it be? It should it be, for sure. I mean, there's some freedom to you being able to make your own coin. Totally. And you back it with money, I guess. But it's also a way that you can launder money. And it's also a way you can pay people off for stuff. And dupe people into spending their money. You know what I mean? Like, I think a lot of people, yeah, I mean, that poor girl, huh?

1:48:35That poor girl, they got her. They got her. They got her. They got her. They got her. I hope she did well on that. I bet she didn't. Really? Probably not. Certainly in terms of what she could be doing. Sad. No, of course. Because as soon as they get mad at you for something like that, well, then they don't like you anymore. Well, she did the wrong thing, and it's sad. She didn't know. Is she like 22 or something? I also don't know if she was going to be Meryl Streep, but it could have gone on longer. Listen, the Cash Me Outside girl makes more money than anybody. It's true. but I think it could have gone on longer than it what a society we live in I mean that just hit me that just like hit my brain that she makes more money than anybody and it's true I was listening to your take on the White House UFC card being the end of MAGA and that the moment when that guy said Michelle Obama was a man well it's just the greatest thing for if you're a deep deep hardcore and I don't even mean the America First principles I just mean like you're along for the ride You're here for the party.

1:49:33There's a lot of maggot people that I'm friends with that are deep. They're not political. They're along for the party. They like to party. Right. They want fun. They're in Florida. It's 4 p.m. They're drunk. You know what I mean? And they're in for the fun. And it's fun. They have like boat shows and regattas where like a bunch of boats will go out with Trump flags. When they're watching that UFC event in their house in St. Augustine or Tampa or fucking West Palm, whatever it is. and that guy stands up because Michelle Obama is a man. It's the culmination of things that they're not going to beat that.

1:50:09It's hard to beat that. There were houses that cheered when that happened. It was 100%. How many do you think? Over the whole country. It was audible in Florida. Florida I know for sure was audible. For sure people cheered and it was like listen. Like outside bars? Yeah. Yeah, and it was a party. The fights were good. You know, it's like, to me, it's like, there's this, every cultural thing has a moment where it just explodes. And it's over after that. You know, it's like Hunter Thompson has that famous quote about it, where he was part of this thing. And then it just, you know, we saw it happen with like celebrity culture.

1:50:54A lot of it, like that Imagine video during COVID was kind of the end of it. Like people are like, shut up. Yeah. Like really, it was like they did that video and they didn't know it at the time, but people really started to turn on them. They're like, just shut up. And there was the other one, the BLM one. Totally. All of them. Same kind of thing. Sorry to be white or whatever it was. Same shit. Same kind of thing. People just said, okay, enough of this. And I do think that every movement just gets to a point where you've done all you can do. You've done all you can do. And when you are standing in the octagon of a UFC fight on the White House lawn and you're asked if you have anything to say and you scream, Michelle Obama's a man, that is the clock has struck midnight.

1:51:33That's that. I mean, I don't know what else you could do. That guy, Josh Hokett. Yeah. You know, that's like he's got a shtick. Like he's got a character. He does. It's fun. The incredible hoke. And so he's basically like a pro wrestling bad guy who also is a really good fighter. Right. So there's a real problem there. What should have happened? Yeah. And he says crazy stuff. Well, they probably, in retrospect, if they wanted to avoid this, probably shouldn't have had him fight on the White House lawn. Sure. Because if he said that at the T-Mobile Arena or in Madison Square Garden. Outrageous.

1:52:10Sure. But not that big a deal. But it's the. Yeah. But here's what should have happened afterwards. Michelle Obama should have made an Undertaker-like entrance.

1:52:22Let's go in. All of a sudden the lights go out. The lights dim. And then the light goes on on the balcony. And she comes on a cord that she flies over. If Michelle Obama had made an Undertaker-like entrance and got in the stage and then body slant, can you imagine? Unbelievable. That would have been amazing. The country just exists for ratings now anyway. It's all it exists for. It's just that's all we're doing anymore. That would have been unbelievable. Here it is. This isn't the Undertaker, but this is what you guys are, I think, are sort of assistant. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. She's in the ceiling the entire time.

1:53:03Michelle Obama comes down. You see Trump. Trump starts doing his dance. He's doing his Trump dance. Michelle Obama comes down. She's got a cape. Bro, it would be the end. It would have been un-fucking-believable, and she would have been president next. She would have been president next with no election. No election. Vance is going to stand up to that? She should have descended from the rafters in a cape, fought that guy, you know, choreographed. Yeah, just body slam him. It's fun. Fake. And then she does an uppercut, and then he's on a cord, and he sails out. unbelievable missed opportunity missed opportunity because why not why not have some fun yeah why not why not have a little fun there they said or some wrestling event there they could they could still pull it off they could do it and if she's smart she hears this and she's on her phone with her people don't sue them they were gonna to sue him they thought about suing him it's like what stop with the suing all the time in this country yeah do something fun I agree too much suing well there's there is this moment where the UFC thing was going on where like the planes flew overhead where it just like I'm like is this even real it's it was it was it was wild it's such an amazing spectacle it's hard to top it was pretty amazing that's what I mean a piece of entertainment of course it was also the only UFC card in the history of the the sport where every fight was a knockout yeah it's this was the that this is senior prom everyone's got to go to college next year and you know wherever they go this is it this is the party there's a moment after senior prom or you know some party that you have senior you know the summer and you're looking around at all your friends you're all high and drunk and you're looking around and if you're smart and most people, a lot of them have this thought, they go, this is never going to be like this again.

1:55:13This will never be like this again. We'll never be able to get together on the White House lawn and do motocross and watch UFC and call Michelle Obama a man.

1:55:23It started when he walked down the escalator. We went through a lot of things. The guy almost got shot. Who knows who did it? No one knows. No one seems to care. Whatever, fine, moving on. But, you know, he's gone through many iterations. He's been out. He's been in. It's the most interesting story really in recent human history. And this is the party to throw. And it's wild because we're not going to win the Iran war. We're not going to win the Iran war. It seems very clear that it's very difficult to imagine a scenario where we come out with like a decisive victory. So instead of that, this.

1:55:57We did this. How is there no more open investigation into the assassination attempt? What happened there? Because that's where Kent said that he was told to stop investigating. Do you want it honestly done? Do you know who you put in charge of it if you want it? Truly, and I'm being very serious. If you want an honest investigation, put Israel in charge. Joe, if you want it done right, have them do it. That's all I'm saying. Just have them do it. Just have them do it. I would trust them. You think they should look at the Charlie Kirk assassination as well? I would trust their conclusions. Have them do it.

1:56:39That would be my thought. Just a fun thought. There's a lot of people that think it was a hoax and that it was a setup. And if it was, I've said on my show, just tell us how you did it because that's fun too. It's fun. Pennsylvania men shot during Trump rally in Butler sued the United States. two men who were wounded in the shooting. They're suing James Copenhaver and David Dutch were shot during an attempted assassination of Trump. Their attorneys filed federal lawsuits against the United States for their life-altering physical and emotional injuries, claiming those injuries were the direct result of negligence on the part of the United States Secret Service.

1:57:16Dutch was shot in the stomach while Copenhaver was shot twice. Does the suing ever end in this country? But there's an argument that that was negligence. Remember that woman, Kim Cheadle, who was in charge and then they put her back in a bunker? Who? She was in charge of the Secret Service. Kim Cheadle. Oh, that's right. That's right. She was like Dick Cheney's assistant. The rope was too sloped or something. Yeah, she said the roof was too sloped to get officers up there. But they shot the guy and he didn't even fall, he didn't roll off the roof. Like the whole thing. The slope of the roof that they were on was steeper.

1:57:50If it's a faked assassination attempt, I don't care. I want to know how it was done. And so does the rest of America. Produce a special where Barry Weiss interviews Donald Trump about how they faked the assassination attempt. Put it on CBS where she's doing. And she's taking over CNN now. So I think. And she's now isolated herself on the sixth floor of CBS where she can no longer see the staff. And they cannot approach her. Is that true? That is correct. and she's guarded by guards. What? Yes. Where'd you hear this? This is in the news. She is, she's in a bunker, like Dick Cheney and the PEOC during 9-11, except it's Barry Weiss at CNN, surrounded by guards, and no one can, and it's like, it's like a militarized zone.

1:58:37She's in a militarized zone. Barry in the bunker and Ellison at the gates. Yeah. Is this real? She's unbelievable. By the way, I like her more now, and she hates me and that's sad. Why does she hate you? Well, you know, I've said things, but here's the thing. I like her more now than ever. Did she start hating you after your hilarious impression? She's turned on me. She turned on me a while ago. Turned on you how? She texted me and was like, you're part of a world in which people are anti-Semitic. And I'm like, well, am I, what am I, what? What am I doing? and she's like you're part of this thing and i was like well that's like what am i why am i what is this guilt by association i don't like this part of a thing that's anti-semitic it's like you're part of a cultural space of anti-semitism and i'm like so is she connecting you to anti-semites connecting me to all these different people because if it the thing that she hated and the thing that she crusaded against was this whole idea that like she's applying the same principles that she supposedly didn't like, which is like, if you're willing to have a conversation with somebody, you endorse every one of their views.

1:59:50Or if you question something like Israel, you hate Israel, or you hate Jewish people, which is insane. And that was, I thought she was the one who was like, we should have nuance on the trans issue. What happened to that? What happened to being able to question gender ideology and all these things. Like, why aren't we, where's the nuance? Where's the, why aren't we holding space for nuance, Bear? CBS News boss Barry Weiss poised to oversee CNN editorial operations. Yeah, this is what he just said, right? Yeah, I saw that. But she's living her best life, as people would say. This is what she was meant to do.

2:00:25And when someone steps into their truth, I support them. And she has stepped into her truth. She's exactly where she should be, in a bunker guarded by the military while she systematically destroys CBS. She's stepping into her truth. This is what she was there. She was put there to destroy it. She was obviously put there to destroy it. She wasn't put there to make it work. She was put there to just destroy it. And she's doing it. Do you think they understood the amount of pushback that they were going to get? I don't think they could. I think they said, listen, let's just put her in there and see what happens.

2:00:59Because who cares? Like the but it's like these legacy media institutions are dying. They're not turning around. No one's going back to watching the evening news. And they know that these are billionaires, not idiots. The Ellison's are not dumb. They don't. They said, let's have a little fun while this thing goes. It says she took the helm of the struggling organization last month with a mandate to shake it up. following David Ellison-led Skydance takeover of CBS parent company Paramount in 2024. Paramount Skydance bought Weiss' online outlet, The Free Press, for a cool$150 million as she became editor-in-chief of CBS News.

2:01:42Yeah. That's a lot of money for The Free Press. Well, no, because if you look at the podcast ratings, it was you and then she was number two. Wow. So that's why. No, she would get 7 ,000 YouTube views.

2:01:57And it seems high. It certainly seems like a lot. But, you know, when you take into account her cultural impact. It's interesting because, like, when it came to her, like, pushing against woke ideology that infected the New York Times, she seemed really reasonable. And there's this very famous clip of her talking to Brian Stelter where she talks about the world gone crazy. Remember that? The world gone mad? Yes. Well, she very brilliantly lays out why, if this is what you're saying, when people are saying that silence is violence and not actual violence is violence, the world's gone mad. Right.

2:02:35And she lays these all out. It's so brilliant. Well, there's got to be room for nuance. Like, October 7th was horrible. Hamas is not good. We all know this. However, you also cannot look at what's gone on the last few years and think that Israel has not, number one, perpetrate, you could call it, I call it a genocide. People can call it anything they want. It doesn't matter. It's a campaign of mass murder where a lot of people have died. Civilians have died. Many children have died. People that are innocent have died. And they're starting to do something similar in southern Lebanon. And they're now talking about Turkey.

2:03:11going by the way, Turkey also Turkey's a NATO fucking country so the idea that any criticism of Netanyahu or the Israeli government or Israel or our relationship with Israel or the money makes you anti-Semitic is an insane thing, it's the exact thing that she fought against in race and gender she fought against that Manichaean good and evil, black and white, she fought against it and she was right. She was correct to say you should be able to have conversations about when is it appropriate for a child to be exposed to certain ideas and when should they be able to make a determination about how they want to live their life.

2:03:53And like, when is it appropriate for people to call, you know, to designate between a protest and a riot and the silence is violence and all of that stuff. She had really pretty logical opinions on all that stuff. But when it came to that one issue, she seems very incapable of understanding any nuance or gray area or complexity regarding this particular issue. No, she is all in for Israel. And that's fine. That's her choice. And I get it. But it's so obvious when a Mark Levin goes, the president's great because we're going into Iran because the president's great. He's the greatest leader of all time.

2:04:36And then he goes, well, this didn't work out like we thought. We're going to make a deal and we're going to try to, you know. And then Mark Levin goes, this is a failure. This is a blunder. This is a strategic thing. And it's like, for who? Is it for us? It's not a failure. It's clearly a failure for us. But like, it seems like the bigger failure would be for Israel that wants Iran neutered because they have aspirations regionally, globally, but certainly regionally. So who's it a failure for? And that's a fair question. And I think it's like there's kind of be able to have that conversation without being tarred and feathered as someone who's like a conspiracy mongering anti-Semite, which is like very there's a group of people that are.

2:05:24But a lot of people just want sanity. And this is not this is not sane. And just like you were talking about with the banks forcing that shit down people's throats that it's going to make them. Yeah. Yes. Same thing. Nobody understands blowback. Like the CIA term blowback when you like go into a country, kill everyone and they go, you like us, right? And they go, no, not really. We killed your mother, but we're sorry. But you want the mall? We're going to build a mall. They go, no, we're going to bomb you and try to kill you. This is blowback. there's blowback when you shut down conversations and in order to shut people up you gotta pay them or kill them that's the only way to do it if you don't pay people a lot of money or kill them they're gonna talk and if you don't if you limit that they're going to get angrier and the blowback is going to be intense well said that's entirely accurate CBS News I'll go on That's the thing.

2:06:26I have no beef with her. I like her. I like that she's in a bunker. I will go on to that show. I'm there. Things that I thought was hilarious, it was some fake story, was that they were going to bring me on for 60 Minutes. Everyone keeps saying that. I texted you about it. I'm like, are you doing 60 Minutes? I thought that was wild. But why not? I mean, half the staff has left. One of that guy, that guy Bill Pelley, just got out. Yeah. She got out and then she's got that dokopul, whatever his name is in the evening news, crying like a psychopath who's that he's the guy who does the CBS evening news and his first his first episode he's in Miami and he's crying can you get that up it's unbelievable is the anchor of the news why is he crying he's crying because he's he starts talking about his family and how he grew up in Miami it's unbelievable this is the guy who was selected to to run the CBS evening news to be the anchor of the CBS evening news and like he does this thing where he's in Miami and they take him out of the chair because they want to start, she's shaking it up.

2:07:29Barry's shaking it up. So instead of sitting at a desk and doing the thing, they bring him to Miami to like visit his childhood places and he starts sobbing in a, I forget it was like a restaurant or something. Jamie, you can find it. He's crying in like a restaurant or he gets like choked up and it's deeply uncomfortable and it's really weird and he starts talking about how he had a hard childhood it's like unbelievable this is the guy embarrassing first days CBS TV news savage by staff it's state TV whoa the conversation with one of his handlers during an ad break Pete Hegseth said during his interview with Tony how do you say his name doc doc a pole doc a pole we did it at Barry's request and because CBS News did something right on this.

2:08:25I wish you had him crying. I wish you had him in that restaurant. So is Marco Rubio's moment, is what he's talking about? No, this is not the right thing. No? He's in Miami, and Doka Pool, I mean, yeah, this is psychotic. Every time I try to pull it up, it's just people talking. So he just keeps crying? It wasn't showing the video. Maybe that's his thing. You know, like George Hamilton was tan all the time? He's crying, he's talking about, yeah, look at this. Is this it? Look at this. This is the anchor of the CBS Evening News. So he's being interviewed? Yeah, can we listen to this? I can't. Facebook's weird.

2:08:57Damn it. Doesn't let me control the player. There it goes.

2:09:04Can we get a second here? Check it from the beginning so I know what he's crying about. What? It makes me emotional. It's so funny. I didn't think it would have captured. You know.

2:09:19This is your favorite place in the world. Why? Why South Florida and Miami?

2:09:27Well, it makes me emotional. It's so funny. I didn't mean anything to catch it. You know, because you only have one childhood, right? So let me get a second here. No, you're okay. I can relate. This is home.

2:09:48People will, to help people understand why I have such a reaction.

2:09:59Florida is where I grew up.

2:10:05We didn't get a lot of sleep. No, it's okay. My grandmother is here, my father, my mother, my aunts and uncles, cousins. and it's where I would have spent all of my childhood but we left uh because of my father got in some trouble with business it's like we laugh about it now but he was a drug dealer but he was a drug dealer went to jail it's kind of a ha ha thing that we say now but the reason it's so emotional for me is because I feel like I was robbed it's kind of a ha ha thing he's this head of the CBS Evening News? He's the anchor of the CBS Evening News? This is what drives everyone so crazy about the world, how fake everything is.

2:10:48That's the guy? That's the best guy for the job? This is... When I grew up, you would go see Whitney Houston and go, fuck, she's good. I can't sing like that. Who cares if she smokes crack? She deserves it. You watch this, and it drives you insane. You go, this guy's crying his father's a drug dealer this is who's the best guy for the job he's gonna have to report on death like like murder war famine whatever and he's crying in a fucking in some Cuban restaurant about his drug dealer father so they had to leave Miami no one believes anything's real anymore this is a huge problem in our world people go that's the guy That's the anchor of the CBS Evening News?

2:11:40It's crazy. Introducing Taco Bell's new jalapeno citrus salsa with bright citrus, real red jalapenos, guajillo chiles. Usually, you add sauce to the food, but when the sauce is this good, the food is just there to get the sauce to your mouth. That rolled quesadilla, not a rolled quesadilla anymore. Now it's a sauce shovel. Taco Bell's jalapeno citrus salsa. Get it with any item on the Cantina Chicken Menu while it's here. The participating U.S. Taco Bell locations for a limited time only.

2:12:14Why are you not spending your Venmo balance? Yeah, we're concerned. You can, like, buy stuff with it. Ugh, you love buying stuff. And earn cash back on eligible purchases. Mmm, you love purchasing eligible things. So, the money your friend sent you yesterday, that's today's ramen. Or rideshare. Or eye patches. The skincare kind, not the pyro kind. Spend with Venmo. And you can earn cash back with Venmo Stache.

2:12:40Well, the other guy who was on, a bunch of people attacked him after he left, right? So he left and apparently he made it very public. Yes, Scott Pelley or something. Big public. Yeah, yeah. So what was he pissed about? He was saying something about they were going against science or some of it had to do, I believe, with climate change. Some of it had to do with a bunch of other things that he disagreed with where the news organization – let's find out what his exact complaints were. Yeah, let's find out. I don't know what they were, but Barry chairs the meetings there and really goes on and embarrasses herself on the calls and stuff.

2:13:21He has no idea what she's talking about. So here it is. Following his criticism, News Editor Barry Wise, 60 Minutes Executive Producer Nick Bilton, at a staff meeting, Pelley was fired by CBS News. What did he say? When CBS fired Pelley, Bilton wrote a cover letter, which obtained by the New York Times. Bilton stated as follows, Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear, and I have heard you. Therefore, write on behalf of CBS News Inc. to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately. Next day, Weiss said, I'm only interested in working in a newsroom that is built on trust and mutual respect.

2:14:05Okay. So what did he say? Pelley accused the new CBS leadership of instructing him to insert falsehoods into a political story and to include assertions that were not verified. instructions. He says he ignored. The collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership at 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone. And so I must leave as well. I wonder what exactly they meant, though, by the falsehoods in a political story and including assertions that were not verified. Oh, here it is. It says, the story CBS intervened on was a report about the 2026 protests in Minnesota and the falsehood CBS asked for was to describe protester Renee Good as driving her car toward the officer who killed her Which Pelley said contradicts video evidence of the event.

2:14:58That's correct. It seemed to me that he was The lady was trying to turn the car away from him, but it did brush up against the guy Which is enough for him to decide the killer Well, I know it but it wasn't it was not she was trying to run him over no and I think it but however that guy had been dragged by a car very recently. So he's probably filled with PTSD. For sure. He almost fucking died. I think he got dragged like 300 yards, rather. I think it's fair to ask at this point. 300 feet? Yeah, but I think it's also fair to ask at this point, like, what is the media? Like, what is the media? Right.

2:15:33All due respect to Barry Weiss, but like, so it was a heavily inflated price for her blog that she sold, YouTube channel, whatever. There's clearly a political agenda to this. You have billionaires that own all of these companies and we're asked to believe that like she's the most qualified for the job, even though she's never ran a newsroom. She didn't like work her way up the rank. She's an op-ed columnist, an opinion writer and stuff like that. Great. She made a lot of sense. We said it before. And then she appoints, hires this guy who's crying in a restaurant in Miami about his dad. And it's like, who the hell is that guy?

2:16:12And I – so I think it's fair to ask like do we have any trust left in these institutions? Do we have any trust left in like people that work there are leaving and saying I'm being asked to insert things into this that isn't true? Well, that alone, just that alone, like driving the car towards the officer, that's not – that's just not technically correct. Right. It seems like she was steering it away. Why would they want to say something that's not correct when you could just see it in a video? Like if you were running a newsroom, that would be the last thing you would want to do is contradict something that's obviously verifiable.

2:16:48So that would for what reason would you sacrifice your credibility? Because that's essentially what it's doing. It's such a short term play. Yes, but I'll tell you exactly why. OK. Because their main demographic is 70 year olds who are having strokes on their couch. They're not verifying this. They're not. They have a very old audience that is not online savvy. They're not looking at many angles. They have cataracts and they're hearing this and it allows them to dismiss it as, well, she did the wrong. You know, she drove justifiable shooting. Yeah, I don't think there is somebody's motivating them to do that for those.

2:17:30Yeah. Yeah. Well, because she's in the tank for Trump because Trump promised or maybe didn't promise. But like whatever, he's useful in the sense that he's going to go on top of the regime in Iran. He's going to sue all these, you know, or he's going to bring Harvard College to heel for whatever the hell they did. And, you know, she believes that. And again, a lot of this is just connected to her view that, you know, Israel's interests are always 100 percent concurrent with America's. And Trump gets that and he understands that. So she's in the tank for Trump, which, by the way, if Biden would have invaded Iran, she would have started protecting him.

2:18:13It doesn't seem like it's she doesn't care that much about a ton of issues. It seems to be that this is her big issue. That's a disturbing thing to a lot of people. Like, how much influence do they really have on this country? That's that's what creeps people out, because I think no one even really considered it before October 7th. It wasn't. I mean, I'm sure people considered it. Nick Fuentes considered it. But it wasn't like it was an openly discussed thing amongst young people. Right. It wasn't until we started realizing, first of all, it was AIPAC. It was the weirdness of the New York City mayoral race.

2:18:51Yeah, of course. Very weird. Where they were all like, we're going to visit Israel. Like, what? Well, it's also in direct opposition to the stated goal of the Trump administration, which is to repair the United States and to make it great and to elevate it and to focus on the United States and to not go into Middle Eastern wars, which was a huge, very popular plank of his platform, and to not waste money and saddle ourselves with debt and mire ourselves in these unwinnable wars. And there was such a gaslighting campaign. The secretary of state came out after the Iran war and goes, well, Israel is going to attack them anyway.

2:19:29And our bases were going to be vulnerable. So we had to join. And then he went, no, I didn't mean that. I didn't really mean that. We're partners. We both think it's a great idea. And there was tremendous pressure on him to do this. Yeah. And, you know, it hasn't worked. And it's clearly not in the interest of the United States to be in a Middle Eastern war with Iran. Tons of Jewish people don't believe it is. Lots of, you know, people from all walks of life don't believe it. But there's an ideological group of people that donate a lot of money and that are incredibly powerful. And they are really pushing this.

2:20:07They're pushing troops and they're pushing nukes or unconventional weapons, like crazy bombing campaigns. They're pushing troops on the ground. They don't care what it takes. Iran has to be either completely destroyed or it's just got to be a chaos zone. but for the regional ambitions of Israel, they can't, it can't exist. So, I mean, again, and not in a paranoid, conspiratory way because I don't like the victim stuff either as a bunch of people in America being like, I can't get ahead because Jewish people are successful. I think that's a stupid road to go down. That's a victim road. I hate that.

2:20:44I hate it. I hate it when gay people do it or anyone, any group of people I hate when they drench themselves in victimhood. I think when you become a victim, you lose autonomy over your life. It's insane. But I do think there's a fair question to ask about what is the motive of certain massive big donors? Is the motive the strength and prosperity of America or is it the strength and prosperity of Israel? That's a fair question. Yeah. And like what about the rest of the world? like how how much are we putting ourselves at odds with the rest of the world indescribably the worst pr ever and you know people cannot justify you know you've got to be a very ideological person to justify you know southern lebanon gaza iran perhaps turkey this is starting to feel like This is like a friend you have who you make excuses for for a certain amount of time.

2:21:57And then your wife eventually goes, they're not allowed here. You can't go out with them. They're a problem. They have a fucked up home life. I know they're fun. I know you share values. I know they enjoy each other. You've known each other for a long time. But here's the deal. They're not coming to the house. And they can't be around the kids. That's what it's coming down to. It was even worse than that. The thing that drives me crazy is the negotiators. When they get negotiators, then they wind up whacking them. They kill all the negotiators. They're killing the Iran deal. And then Trump tells them, stop killing the negotiators.

2:22:30Yeah. Stop bombing Lebanon. Is this Iran deal going to work? Is it going to work? You know? Stop bombing Lebanon. I think we're at odds now. In the last two years, we are now. We're at odds with Israel for the first time, where Trump is really at odds with them. And he's had enough. And I think he is starting to understand that his legacy will be permanently tainted if he doesn't find a way to extricate us from this war. And I think on the other side, and Vance, again, for all the disagreements I might have with Vance about certain things, he is one of the only people in that administration who does push against the continuation of this war, which is why a lot of those neoconservative donors try to destroy him because of that.

2:23:23I don't love his tech alliances. There's a lot of things I don't like about him. But there's a lot of things I think are good about him. I think there's, and it's not like I don't like about him per se. I worry about, you know, some of his relationships. How many of these relationships you think are like necessary for survival? I'm sure all of them are, and that doesn't mean, but they still need to be criticized and looked at. Oh, yeah. And they're 100%. Oh, not justifying it at all, but I'm saying. I have a feeling like no completely autonomous person is ever going to make it through that maze.

2:23:57Never. Never. But I think the job is you turn the heat up enough where maybe if everyone's going to do 10 horrible things, they do two. Right. So I think it's certainly the job of anyone who looks at this stuff to look at it and go, yeah, what is going on? What is happening? But I will say for all of the tech, you know, things that I find a little, you know, it's a little like, what? I do think that to his credit, he's the only one in there. And you can tell, and it's not that I have some inside knowledge. He's being attacked the most by the people that want the war to continue. And I think he knows his political ambitions will be completely destroyed by a continuation of this war.

2:24:44So I look at all these people not as human beings, even though they are human beings, but I look at them as like they're running the show, they're running the country. So they all have ambitions and it's hard to know their hearts or heads or how they feel from one day to the next. It's very difficult. So I think when you look at them, you look at them and you go, yeah, he's calculated and ambitious, but he also is the one being attacked by people that want the war to continue. Tucker Carlson, who again, I have agreements with Tucker, I have disagreements with Tucker. The attacks on him are insane.

2:25:20The attacks on Megyn Kelly are wild. Because of this issue. It's not a myriad of issues. It's this issue. Yeah, undoubtedly. And it's weird. It's weird because it's so transparent. It's so transparent. And the whole world is seeing it play out. And it's like the amount of gaslighting that you have to keep pumping. Yeah. It's not sustainable. Well, to say that this was not in the interest, this was in America's interest. You have to jump around logically so much. Well, this is also the problem with the justification of what happened in Gaza. When people will try to say Israel, like Gad was saying, they're doing the best they can.

2:26:05Look at the drone footage. Fly over that. That's the best you can do. That's crazy. Is that better than a nuke? Because I don't think it is. No. It's inhumane. It looks like the damage of a nuke just spread out over two years instead of one blast. It's inhumane. It's evil. It's children being killed. It's mothers being killed in front of their children. And by the way, October 7th was inhumane. But I shouldn't have to keep doing that. Do you know what I mean? Of course you shouldn't have to do that. But it's also October 7th. You know, the people that got killed, those are the ravers, right? Right.

2:26:35So those are the people that were anti-Netanyahu. Totally. Those are not the people that were - They also killed, I think, probably a lot of like, they dragged people out of their houses. Oh, they killed a ton of people that were - It's a bad situation there. It's also like, why did it take so long to respond to that? Well, this is another very interesting, very important question. Yeah. Because there's a lot of people that say it's a state the size of New Jersey, and the security failures are, they're pretty wild and there hasn't been a real investigation into them. And Netanyahu's kind of prevented that and they've kind of made it illegal to question that in Israel.

2:27:16Like people were like writing about that and going, what the hell's going on? But like - It's illegal? Well, there was, they've made a law and you can look this up about things like this in Israel because during wartime, they haven't had an election. Have they had an election? No. Since October 7th? No. Right? Right. They haven't had an election. It's suspended because of the war, right? Right. And the Ukraine hasn't had an election. Nobody's had an election. So if I'm living in a country and the leader of my country just wants to be in a war forever, there is no democracy? Well, you know, Clinton said that.

2:27:51Clinton said that about Netanyahu. He said he wants to maintain a war. I mean, he said it openly in an interview. Right. So he can maintain power. And then a nice chubby intern showed up. Oh, I wish. And a nice chubby intern showed up. Full of internet and all these busy bodies was around. He was the first guy to go viral. So, I mean, that's the thing. You don't have elections. You don't have people looking into things. And by the way, that's not the only thing that should be looked into. Look into everything. Right. Where are the 9-11 docs? What happened? Can we know? Why can't we know anything?

2:28:27Why can't we know anything? Yeah. You know? This is all of it. It's like - Release all - We're all adults. Release it. Let's see what happened. I'm sure it's fine. I'm sure no one did anything naughty. I think this is all kind of breaking, though. And I think that one of the things - It's breaking. One of the things that's happening with AI, it's like all these things that they are protecting us from - We're going to find out that stuff. Well, here's the thing. I mean, I met you in 2019. The first time I met you was 2018. Big Jay Oakerson was opening for you in Toronto. show. Oh wow. Yeah. But then I met you in 2019 and that's what six years ago seven years ago.

2:29:08There were cracks of it breaking then but almost invisible like you couldn't see them. Now you have full on like huge sinkholes opening into the reality that most people have accepted for their entire life. Yes. Big. Yeah big. Big. And you see, like, this Tulsi Gabbard, this press release that she did, this conference where she's talking about Fauci. Sure. What he did and all that. Yeah. All that. We're getting information now. We're getting information. That let us know that the entire system has been completely corrupted for a long fucking time. For a very long time. For a very long time. And it won't survive.

2:29:53It clearly can't survive the way we're in. Is it$40 trillion worth of debt? It's close. Right? It was at 39. No one thinks that's getting paid back. Yeah, who do we owe it to? Tell them to go fuck off. Right. So we have a lot of it's China. But no one thinks that's getting paid back. The dollar is the world's reserve currency seems to have a limited amount of time. I don't know, but this is what's discussed. No, I mean, how does this system survive this level of information? People are not going to. Do you think that this whole race to AI, this like Manhattan Project style race that's going on right now, like the future of whatever the United States is kind of depends on us getting there first?

2:30:40Right. I think part of it is that. If we don't get there first, then it's probably a wrap. If you really thought about it, like if China gets there first, if control of resources and everything shut off. Sure. Whatever. How, what, if it's weaponized? My worry is that in the guise of fighting China, we're going to become China. You know, so I would take the government a lot more seriously if they weren't, you know, potentially having like saying Palantir should merge all these different government databases. So your health data and your criminal justice data and your tax data all merges. And who's doing that?

2:31:15Palantir. So you go and then they go, well, China's got a credit score. Well, what the hell is that? Right. What the hell is this? What? Right. So when Vance comes out and he goes, I'm worried about a credit score, it's like, okay. Hey, buddy. Me too. What the hell's this? So it's a little bit of gaslighting in that sense, too. They're like, if China gets all this stuff, we lose. And you go, okay. So it's almost like China will enslave you. Let us do it first. Everyone's going to be on their best behavior. That's right. Everyone's going to be on their best behavior. We're going to be watching them.

2:31:50You heard that quote. Everyone's going to be on their best behavior. This is what the world economic and people like that, they don't have an interest in you owning a house or farming land or starting a business or they don't have any interest in that. It does not serve them at all. It did for a while, but their economic projection is that that's not going to be possible for you. So what they're going to do, they're building bunkers, they're hoarding all the wealth, and they're heavily invested in all this AI. And one of the reasons I think that we have to strike a deal with Iran is all this UAE money props up Hollywood, all these startups.

2:32:28It props up all the AI, a lot of it. A lot of that money is coming from Qatar and the UAE. And our bases are getting blown off the earth in those countries. Those countries are getting attacked because of this war. And they're a huge financier of American startups and some AI startups. So like one thing that I wonder about all of this is just how much this just does seem now to be a high-level chess game about the future and what is and isn't possible. But the only thing that makes me personally happy is that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump just bought an island.

2:33:08The Romanian people are really excited. They're really excited. I believe they burned the prime minister's house and the president. or whoever, they just start lighting houses on fire. And that's coming, by the way. They just did it in Belfast. That's coming. People starting to light things on fire is coming. That's coming. I'm not calling for it. I'm not saying it's good. But it's coming. Because voting's become fake. Right. No one cares. You know, people on threads. It's fake. It's fake. fake it's so obvious it's fake x it's all fake so the only get and you know what again i'm not calling for it it's bad but fire is real if you ask the people at palisade or malibu and whatever r.i.p i like the palisade that stupid mall i liked it but this is real people are going to start realizing that all this technology has just been set up to give you this idea that you have some effect and all the while, Jared and Ivanka just go by an island.

2:34:23That's what's happening. But maybe it's fine. Have you gotten any invites to any bunkers? No. No, they're not. Do you think you'd feel differently if you did? I don't know. I know you've had invites to do interesting things. I've had invites to Teal and I've said no because I think, you know, he'd probably sit me down and go, listen to me, you fat fuck. You're going to shut your mouth. And I'd sit there and I'd go, no, I think if they were going to invite me, someone goes, this is the guy who dressed up as Christy Noem's husband with fake tits. And they go, we can't have him here. But by the way, absolutely.

2:35:03If somebody said to me, a few people are going to survive and it's just going to be you and these people and everybody else is going to die, it's tough how fun would it be though is it fun is it fun if the whole world dies and i'm just sitting and having dinner with jd vance and his wife

2:35:23i mean is that the fuck with peter teal me and usha and j just eating steak yeah i mean is that is that what we want i don't know probably not probably not what's the best case scenario The best case scenario is a new era of enlightened people and enlightened thinking and soulfulness and spirituality and a healthy attachment to technology and religion and, you know, people's people's, you know, a common kind of a sense of morality and togetherness and love for community that's not enforced by governments, corporations and armies. Hmm. I'm not betting on that, but that would be good. Well, there's a battle, right?

2:36:12Yeah, there is a battle. It's not like one side is clearly going to win. We're moving in a very weird direction of uncertainty, but humans today are way better at being people, way kinder and nicer, despite all our problems, than we have ever been in the past. Yeah. Society is generally, at least in first world countries, safer than it's ever been in the past. Yeah. And it's also there's more opportunity to do things now because of technology that's ever existed before. So it's not worse, but it's not moving in the best direction possible. Like if you had to choose between living today the way we're living now or living in 1976 in San Francisco, I'd be like, go fuck yourself.

2:36:57I don't want shitty breaks and live with these fucking people that don't know anything because no one has the Internet. Fuck that. Yeah. You're better off living today. The communication you have is better today. You would go see Janis Joplin. Right. And you'd be smoking weed and a burrito would be 50 cents. And then you would go into a park and fuck and then die. And it might not be as bad as one thinks. And who knows? I didn't live during that time. So I'm sure there was a lot of pitfalls. You get stabbed. whatever like New York was more culturally interesting when there was crime I'm against there being crime because New York couldn't have existed it can't be 1983 in New York now Times Square is a mall Times Square right now is a TGI Fridays but sure used to be chaos to be chaos but it can't be chaos forever but again in that city do you get the Ramones do you get right all of that stuff probably not no probably not no you need some chaos for art for sure you don't get chaos you don't get chaos from tgi fridays you don't get that kind of chaos but i do think that there's a time for certain things and there's an inertia that moves certain things forward meaning like it would be crazy to think about new york in the 80s today like no one's built for that life today right no one's even built for that like one of the reasons that wars don't work anymore is We're just not built for it.

2:38:21We're not built. We used to be built for war. People used to be built for war. They were built to like, just be like, yeah, somebody calls me and I just go die. You know, there's like a petition on the door and it's like report here. We're going to war. People were built for, nobody's built for that now. People who file complaints with DoorDash. I file complaints. 1981 Rolling Stone magazine called West 42nd Street located in the heart of Times Square as the sleaziest block in America. Yeah. Now it's probably prime real estate. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, listen, there's parts of it that are, you know, it's all prime real estate there.

2:38:53Whether people like it or not, it's not necessarily, you know, it's better because it's safer, but it's worse because it's safer. Nothing's all one thing. Nothing's all one thing. There's still great art there. There's still great music and comedy and theater and all that stuff. Is it as good as it was? No, no. But again, it's just because the people that are doing it are amazing and they're talented. But like culture is so decentralized now and fractious. It's nothing can stay cool. Everything that pop, you know, what's depressing me about New York is it's become like it's become a place where people just go on Instagram and post.

2:39:37You know, when you used to go to dinner in New York City, you would eat French food or food you could never make at home. You've never even seen. They would treat you like shit. It was fun. Now you go to these places because Taylor Swift went there. They just do a high-end version of a Totino's pizza roll. They put truffle oil on it. Here's a French dip. Here's a burger. People with their burger. It's just a basic bitch mall city now. That's really what it's become. That doesn't mean there's not a lot of psychopaths there making lots of money and good for them. But it's becoming a suburban city.

2:40:07It's a city where people talk about chicken salad. It's a city where people go to Wegmans. It's just a different city. It's Pilates and toddlers. It's all great. It's fine. I don't want to see people getting shanked, but it's not what it was. It's just not what it was. It doesn't have that same magic and nothing does. LA doesn't. Nothing really does. And it won't come back. No, I don't think it's coming back. I don't know if that's good or bad. If I live there, I mean, who knows what the fuck's going to happen now with Mom Donnie as mayor? I mean, that weirdness where, what's that guy's name? Ken Griffin?

2:40:40The billionaire guy who's in front of his apartment? I mean, billionaire guy lives here. He's got so much money. We're going to take it. Well, they don't. We're going to tax him. Well, here's the thing. It's all fake. It's all fake. Mondani's Trump. He's smart. He's sharp. He's good looking and young. He just, he's this little crap. It's YouTube. It's like, look, billionaire guy. Ken Griffin's in Palm Beach building a house worth a billion dollars. You're not going to do anything to Ken Griffin. You're a city employee. The mayor is fake. It's like he'll raise taxes maybe if he can get it done, but he can't.

2:41:11it'll get dirty or crime will go up or it won't. It's kind of whatever. It's just not, you know, I think it's not, it's more just the corporation's rule and guys like him, it's like Bernie Sanders. He's the version of the socialist you get. What does it even mean? He has a bunch of military, industrial complex jobs in Vermont, sweetheart of a man, but has not gotten one goddamn thing for 30 years. Worth millions, has three homes. Worth millions, has three homes. The Clinton sandbag him because they're working for God only knows who. the Goldman Sachs and the devil. And he goes and says, Hillary's great.

2:41:46They're all great. It's all great. The system's fine. I lost. He got sandbagged like twice. And he doesn't burn it to the ground. He won't burn it to the ground because that's the version of a socialist you get in America. And I'm not even like a socialist, but I'm saying like that's clearly, this is, you throw the bone to placate someone. It's also they're playing a game and his game is to stay relevant. Totally. Being a politician, keeping a senator from Vermont. You stay there forever. Everybody loves you. Ben and Jerry's. Vermont is a lily white state of frozen people. Frozen people. And it's just a bunch of lesbians.

2:42:21And I think Alec Baldwin now because he shot someone. Does he live there now? I think he does, but I don't know. And I like him. Shout out to him. We've all moved on. But I think, you know, Sanders is doing what he has to do to please that demographic of people. what do you think happens in 2028 I think I think the donors want Rubio but Rubio is kind of a buffoon why do they want Rubio because he's not Vance is more isolationist than Rubio and I think Vance is more in league with the tech people whereas Rubio maybe the central banking cartels of intergenerational pools of capital that are more invested in the war industry and might be slightly more aligned with Israel like Rubio like there are different fiefdoms of the super rich I think the tech guys are relatively new.

2:43:08Not that they don't get involved in war. Of course they do. But it's not all hunky-dory. You know, if you had a banking empire for years and centuries, and you're like, now all these new tech fucks are here, and you're like, what is this? And you're like, we make our money with war. And so do the tech people, by the way, but they have other ways to make money. So I do think Vance will get the nomination. I don't think Rubio, I used to think it would be Rubio. But I've watched Rubio recently more. And I don't think Rubio, he's just too, I can't take him seriously. I don't know why. Trump again suggests a Vance-Rubio 2028 presidential ticket, or perhaps Rubio-Vance.

2:43:51So it'll probably be those two. Interesting. But do you think that people are going to want to buy into another Republican party? No, it'll be a Democrat. I think it'll be a Democrat. Who do you think wins? I don't know. I think it's somebody that we don't know who it is yet. I think it's somebody that we don't know who it is. I don't think it's Newsom. I don't think it's AOC. I think it's somebody that comes from a red state who's a Democrat governor, a purple state. We don't know who they are yet. They pop up. They're boring. I think we need boring. I think a boring person's going to come in and just be like, hey, I'm the president.

2:44:24Reasonable. The show's over. Michelle Obama's a woman. And then you'll hear some of the country go, oh. Because Trump's a drug and you've got to detox from that. And this whole last decade has been a drug. And it's been the craziest decade that I've been alive. I remember sitting with you in election night. I remember me, you, and Alex sitting down. I remember all these things. We're watching these crazy points. I remember when Trump was shot. I remember, tragically, when Charlie Kirk was shot. I remember all of these things that have happened that are just so crazy. And now seem so far away and like they're so far in the past.

2:45:02Gavin Newsom. They like this guy, John Ossoff. Who's that guy? I just looked him up. I didn't know either. He's the youngest incumbent senator out of Georgia. Yeah, he's having a moment. You just nailed it. He could be him. Look at him. There he goes. Just put him in. He looks like a president. Just put him in, who cares? Yeah. His neck is medium. It's not too thin. He's got a medium neck. He's got that face that people like. Like Tallarico's neck is a little too small. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's probably true. A little bit more square-jawed. conservative Georgia radio host endorses John Ossoff for U.S.

2:45:38Senate. If they want to win they just have to go, hey everybody remember healthcare? Don't you want that? Is he a Republican? He's a Democrat. He's a Democrat but he's going to LARP as a Republican in the same way that Spencer Pratt's like I'm actually a Democrat. You know what I mean? Worked as a national security staffer. Yeah, he's a spook! Put him in. Who cares? It's fake at this point. We all know it's fake. How much more evidence does anyone need? Jesus Christ, Tim Dillon. Sorry. I'm glad you're out there.
